Cameras do more than just that kind of security.

Our camera has been of great use. In fact has largely made us money. We had an incident where a fire truck damaged our car in the street with its hose. We thought a kid with a bat did the damage at first. The camera though showed the real culprit. When we told the fire department they denied it and said there were no firetrucks in the area. We sent the video footage and then they sent a city lawyer with a checkbook.

I had a situation where a tree limb fell on to an early morning garbage truck. The truck transported the limb a few hundred feet. It then Slid off and smashed thru my van window. It started to rain. I appeared shortly after trying to figure out how a 10’ heavy limb would smash thru my window, things are just starting to get wet, and there are no trees around.
